    <p>I am currently working on an application which will audit computers, and one of the things that it is mandatory for this app to achieve is to get the license key from the install of OEM windows and Retail Office, in order to retain this information for future purposes, such as re-installation and move from one machine to another (this part is more for office).</p> <p>The requirement here is specifically NOT to use any apps that already find keys, this is a BIG no no for the project.</p> <p>The goal is to have a comprehensive audit of the user's PC: hardware info, software installed, user account name, pc name, domain currently used, workgroup, antivirus used, running processes, startup processes, and LICENSE KEYS. And it has to be custom tailored for this specific purpose, so retail apps are instantly out of the question.</p> <p>Now I am very confident I can do everything myself. Frankly, I already did 50% of this. Where I am stuck is finding where the license keys are stored within windows.. It has been eluding me for a week now.. Internet searching only refers me to sites that offer the easy and lazy option of using a pre-made key finder.</p> <p>Initially I thought that these would be somehow squirreled away in the registry, but a plaintext search of my own personal Office key returned a great big nothing. Which leaves me to wonder if these keys are stored in the registry, are they perhaps in there as HEX? Or encrypted?</p> <p>Or if not, where could they be stored?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
